After the adjournment of the brigade meeting Colonel Walker cailed a meeti of the board of officers of the Second Re, ment. Paymaster Wey mouth submil led report of the finances, It was receved with great favor, as it sbowed a balance on hand of about $15. The resignation of Captain B. L.

Major Al Taylor took the position of paymaster temporarily. The resignation of L. N. Cobbledick as major of the Second Battalion was read and accepted. ew by-laws were presented by Lieu- nant M. D. Bird, and, after being read, t was moved to lay them over for one meeting. A lengthy discussion followed. It touched at the very foundation of the Boys' Brigade—that is, whether the triple pledge of the Boys’ Brigade should be enforced. Colonel Walker, Major Taylor | and Captain Weymouth were strongly in fayor of it, while others thought that it might be better to let applicants join and later on enforce the pledge. The pledge reads as follows and is enforced in ail companies of the Second Regiment: I promise sud pledge, that so longas I am a | memver of the Boys' Brigade, that [ will not use tobacco nor intoxicating liquor in any form; that I will not use profane, vulgar or i nt language; that I will obey faithiully 11 the company rules, and that I will, at all setan exampie of good conduct'to my des and other boys. One of the new officers said to-day: “It might be well to state that as so much has been said against General Russell’s policy in managing Brigade affaits, that he isnot held totally responsible for the recent Santa Cruz debt. General Russell is a man that has suffered unjustly at the bands of his iollow oflicers. As is always the case when a man comes into power, he is severely criticized. Mr. Russell made mistakes, but he did it in good faith. He always worked for the best interest of the Brigade, going so far, sometimes, as to im- pair his health. He was sincere and con- scientious in all his dealings.” ——————— FOR ABSOLUTE OLOSING. co | Ghigtione, The Saloon Question Has Arigen In Another Foim. OAKLAND, Can., Jan. 24—Professor 8. P.

Wanted Their Money Back. | BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 24.—Fifty or more tired, weary and disgusted admirers of the raanly art came out from the gym- nasiom of the West Berkeley Athletic Club last night wishing that their dollar pieces were in their purses, A hot prize- | ring contest between Juck Dayis of Omaba | and “*Negro” Brown of San Francisco for 2 $35 trophy was advertised to take place at the ciub quarters. It did take place, but the men put so little spirit into | their ‘work, and fought at such long dis- tance, that the crowd set upa yell at the close and shouted ‘‘fake!’’ ‘‘fake!” &nd demanded tne return of their admission fee.

In this they are backed by the opinion of Guiglione and his wife, who live in deadly fear of their unknown enemy. The anonymous correspondent has on several occasions demanded money from | Ghiglione and is believed to be connected with a te; Krancisco several years ago. Ghiglione formerly had a partner in his vegetable business out on Bay Farm Is- land named Milo Felice, alias Creon Crean. Milo fell in love with an Italian beauty of the San Francisco colony and wooed well. His suit was accepted. but his prospective father-in-law, August Capuna, would not countenance tue match. Quarcels ensued and bad blood was in evidence. Finally, op the night of May 19, 1894, Milo and Capuna engoged in a game of Francisco. Before playing long Capuna accused the lover of cheating and a row ensued. In the heat of passion Felice referred to the old man’s daughter, which sroused’ his most violent anger. The dispute ended in Felice stabbing Capuna in the back with a stiletto. Felice made his escape and is supposed to have left the country. Captain Lees and his men made every effort to find him, but no trace was ever had of the fugitive. His relatives claim that he is in Buenos Ayres, but his part- ner believes that he returned to his native country. “Yes, we received a threatening letter,’” said Mrs. Ghiglione to-day, “‘and at once turned it over to the police, who have en- deavored to keep it quet. Of course we are afraid, because we do not know what- may happen. I believe Felico is in Italy, but we are not even safe with him there. The San Francisco police claim to have located him, but of course it is impossible 1o tell whether they have the right man or not. I hope we will not get any more such letters.” Her Eyesight Saved. ALAMEDA, Can, Jan. 24—Mr. and Mrs. Horace P. Brown of 2126 Clement avenue are rejoicing to-day at the knowl- edge that their baby daughter, Olara Do- lores, who was so frightfully burned on December 28, will not lose her eyesight. Clara was playing in front of the firepiace on the day mentioned, when in some manner her dress caught fire. Yesterday the bandages were removed from the littie | one's eyes for the first time, and, after washing them carefully, Clara was al- lowed to look upon the light. She recog- nized her parentsreadily, and on examina- tion the doctor pronounced her eyes safe. BERKELEY NEWS NOTES. A Grocery Complication — Disgusted Sunday Sports—Appointment of Fire Chief of the Council. BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 24 —0C. Deme- trak, merchant, journalist, footr.ce en- thusiast and inventor of airships, is a much-wanted man in Berkeley. As stated in a recent issue of THE CALL, Demetrak left Berkeley two weeks a0, under a cloud of mystery, and has not been seen in Berkeley since. He sold out his grocery business at the corner of Shat- tuck and University avenues a short time ago to George Fandus, one of his clerks, Three days after the transfer the stock was attached by San Francisco creditors, and a Sheriff's lock was vlaced on the door. Kundus claims that tbe Sueriff has no right to attach tke stock, because it be- longs to him and not to Demetrak, and because he purchased it in good faith and was not aware that there were any out- standing debts. Accordingly he has sued the Sheriff for §3000 to cover his loss of stock, hauled away, and alleged damages sustained. .

Chancsllor Yorke Speaks Warmly on the Duty of Catholics Regard- ing Literature. OARLAND OFFIcE SAN FRANCIECO CALY.,} 908 Broadway, Jan. 24 | The announcement that Rev. Father Yorke would preach from the theme, “Catholic Luterature,’ caused a larger crowd to sssemble this morning than capacious St. Francis de Sales’ Church l could accommodate. There was special music and an aug- mented choir. The Chancellor’s sermon was preceded by high mass. Father Yorke opened by referring to the | Catholic church as & great missionary organization, and tben proceeded to show how the greatest ally to missionary work is the press, and how it carried to hun- dreds of thousands of people all manner of information that they could not pos- sibly obtain by any other means. “On the Eastern seaboard a very poor opinion exists of the Western newspa- pers,” said the preacher. *This is not the fault of the publishers, who supply the public with just what is in demand. 1f you will purchase filtb, it will be supplied to you. If you ask a grocer for a brand of tea and he does not give it to you, of course you go elsewhere. You mustdo the same with your papers. “Which of you, if he went home and found an intelligent man at your fireside teliing your wife and little ones of all those abominable things and experiences in the slums of which Christian people do not even speak, would not instantly throw him out? Yetyou subscribe for the daily press that is doing just the same thing. “Not content with using all the diction that intelligence can desire and throwing around the nauseous details the glamour of reality until the reader actually seems to begoing through the same experience art has been prostituted to carry out the base design, and large pictures of things which should be avoided as poison are printed to the poliution of the children’s minds and the Eumnin: of tneir souls. *Mothers’ broken hearts are grieving to- day in thousands of instances because of wayward sons and daughters who drew their ti inspiration of crime from the filthy daily newspaper. “The antidote ith yourselves.

Revolver and Pistol Shooting Becoming . Very Popular of Late. Columb:a Cub, Red Men’s Schuetzen Section and Military Records Across the Bay. Shell Mound rifle range yesterday missed a fine opportunity for making good scores. In the forenoon the appearance of a few at home, but those who went across the bay were amply repaid for their pains, for the sun came out and atmosphere and light were ali that could be desired. Several of the German sharpshooting clubs were booked for their regular con- ed them from attending to their regular sport. However, there was no lack of noise on the range. The rattle of muskets, fine rifles and smaller arms was heard all day. The members of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club held their regular fourth- Sunday shoot. Several new faces were seen in their midst—enthusiasts who have recently become members. Dr. J. J. Giusti has recently turned his attention to revolver shooting. He used that bas not had a chance to do much practic- ing. He promises to be a regular attend- ant at the Columbia’s shoots hereaiter. Victor La Mott, who is connecied with the State Board of Trade, promises to be a fine rifie shot. Heretofore he has done ent work in the field, but the set- ggers and globe and peep sights stag- gered him for a while. Charles Burrell of the Arcata Rifle Club was a guest of the Columbia Cinb, and was greatly interested in the performances. is in fine condition. The regularevents were decidedly inter- esting and many excellent scores were made in the several matches. Early in the day there was a spirited competition for the honor of being high man for the Bush- nell medal. Every month the man with the best score has his name inscribed as a mark of honor on the medal. The ten best scores of the year will finally win this val- uable trophy. A, H. Pape led with a hold- cver nine in three shots, Columbia target, from the last contest. No one niade a better score yesterday, though F. 0. Young and Dr. L. O. Rodgers crowded him well. The same kind of a contest wason in the Blanding pistol match, which is governed by identical conditions. Youug's name will be put on that medal for this month. The club has developed a new musket shot. He is J. E. Gorman who, hereto- fore has paid much attention to pistol practice, and has now taken to the mus- ket. His first score on the Glindemann medal yesterday was a forty-eight Creed- moor count, and Gorman 13 now looking uwround for a good military musket. F. H. Bushnell, H. J. Wicker and Frank Mason are also among the new aspirants for military shooting honors. On the 50-yard range there was some very speedy contests and the revolver shots are coming to the front in good shape. This match promises to be a de- cided feature in this vear’s programme. The records on the 200 and 50-yard ranges were as follows: Rifle, 200 yards, re-entry matches, F. H. Bushneil medal, three shots toa score—A. H.

Bishop Gilmore of Cleveland said he would refuse the sacra- ments of the church to those who sent their children to the public schools.” The speaker argued that, “if the Irish could be divorced from their insane at- tachment to Catholicism tbey might be- come leaders of men, but under the church teachings, which place the catechism ahead of all other instruction, they must remain a backward and adown-trodden people.” The lecturer quoted from what he said was a modern Catholic catechism, many of the sentences from which taught that Christians are all doomed to damnation. “Thns is the thing,” he said, “which they want to teach in the public_schools. If their hatred of American institutions can- not be eradicated the day will come when they will have to be disfranchised. They cannot be true to the Pope and to the flag at onetime.” L————— An Italian entertainment is most frugal. A little wine and water, some very warm orange-flower water and a few cakes are offered.

A YEAR OF WORK FOR YOUNG MEN Forty-fourth Anniversary of the Christian Association, Bishop Newman's Address to Those at the Annual Meeting. It Has Been a Hard Yo:ar, but Not Without Redeeming Features. “Nothing is done without consecrated power of the individual man or woman, and that power is given to us by Jesus Christ.” Such were the words addressed by Bishop Newman to the people that had | assembled in the Young Men’s Christian Association Auditorium on Mason and Ellis streets yesterday afternoon. The occasion was the association’s forty-fourth anniversary, and was fitly celebrated by the young men of the institution. A cordial invitation had been issued to their many friends, and many responded. The secretary made a brief statement of the financial condition of the association, and then Rev. John P. Newman came f«rward. He was introauced by Rolla V. Vatt. Bishop Newman spoke feelingly of the consectation of lives, impressing upon his audience that the time will and must come when Christianity will supersede all other forms of worsnip; when all forms of | government will recognize the brother- hood of man and Jesus Christ shall be recognized ‘as the all-sufficient Savior of mankind. ‘When each household shall be a church, the father a priest, the mother a priestess and the sons and daughters the wor- shipers. Whether the time will come when sin shall cease it was not, the Bishop said, for him to assert, but the time will come when every knee shall bend and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is over ail. Those occupying seats on the stage with | Bishop Newman were: Rev. W. H. More- land, Rev. J. L. Dietz, Rev. E. R. Dille, Reyv. William Rader, Irving M. Scott, E. E. Ewing, J. J. Pfister, C. A. Maydwell, Samuel Foster, H. J. McCoy, Dr. Rigdon and J. T. Webster. The past twelve months have been among the most trying and_yet most re- markable in the annals of the Y. M. C. A. The management has encountered many difficulties, but the year was not without | some encouragement and chesr. | Although still confronted with & large indebtedness and much more that is dis- couraging, the coming year the associa- tion will strain every effort to keep their work within the current income and pre- vent the debt from increasing, and even to reduce it if possible. Notwithstanding the obstacles which at times seemed almost insurmountable a commendable work has been carried for ward and thousands of young men have found the association building to be & haven of refuge in the hour of need anda temptation. SAYS HE IS ORTHODOX, Rev. William Rader Ascribes the Criticism of Him to a Misun- derstanding. Rev. William Rader, the pastor of the Third Coneregational Church ot this City, denies that there is anything unorthodox in the views which he has been expressing in a series of Sunday evening lectures on the Bible. One lecture in particular was recently criticized by a religious organ as | containing sentiments opposed to the | belief of the great boay of the Presby- | terian, Baptist and Methodist churches, and for this reason it was urged that he should be removed from the 97 commit- tee of the Christian Endeavorers, of which Mr. Rader has been an active member. I have heard no criticism of my views from any of the clergy or of the laity, ex- cept friendly differences of opinion on minor points,”” said Mr. Rader last even- ing, “and I was much surprised at the article suggesting that I be removed from the '97 committee. I feel confident that the writer of that article misapprehended my views. He staies that 1 denied the decalogue _was divinely inspired. I do not think I said anything of the kind. He also states that I am a follower of Howi- son in my beiief concerning miracles. I am not a follower of Howison or any other man. “What will come of his suggestion I do notknow. I have very much at heart the work of the Christian Endeavor Society, and my relations with it are very close. may feel called upon to make a statement later, but I feel now that the matter is all owing to a mistake.” Mr.’ Rader preached last evening on “The Book of Jonah.” He deciared that he mada no attempt to decide as to its literal history. He believed in the in- spiration of its truth, and believed in the medium of certain revelations of God. My Bible does not rise or fall with the literal event of the whale swallowing Jonah,” he said. gr.(}ibbon’s Dispensary, > KEARNY ST.
